Counselling in Squamish, Sea to Sky & Online therapy
Support for anxiety, trauma, relationships, and feeling stuck
However you found your way here — welcome.
Most people who come here aren’t in crisis. They’re caught in something that keeps circling back — anxiety, a pattern in their relationships, a sense of feeling stuck, or just a quiet feeling that something isn’t quite right, even when they can’t fully name it. Sometimes it’s connected to something that happened — an experience that never fully settled, even if it was a long time ago.
Sometimes it’s about understanding yourself more deeply. Sometimes it’s about shifting something that hasn’t moved despite your best efforts. Often it’s both.
That gap between understanding something and actually being able to change it is real. That’s usually what brings people here.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. These struggles are part of being human — and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

anxiety + emotional issues
Anxiety that won’t settle, thoughts that spiral, or a persistent sense of unease — even when life looks fine on the outside. Sometimes it shows up as overthinking or difficulty being present. Sometimes it’s in your body before you’ve even registered a thought. If you’ve tried to think your way out of it and it keeps coming back, there may be something worth exploring underneath.

trauma + PTSD
Past experiences have a way of staying present — in how you react, how you relate, and how safe you feel in your own skin. If something from your history is still affecting your day-to-day life, this work helps you process what hasn’t fully settled. Using EMDR and other body-based approaches, we work at a pace that feels manageable — so things can start to feel steadier and more like you.

relationship issues
Whether you’re navigating conflict, feeling disconnected, or stuck in the same argument on repeat — relationship work looks at what’s happening between you, not just what’s being said. I offer couples counselling, premarital counselling, and support for the relational patterns that show up across all your relationships, not just romantic ones.

WHAT YOU MIGHT BE DEALING WITH
Support for anxiety, trauma, relationships, and feeling stuck
You might be noticing:
➜ Anxiety or overthinking that won’t settle, even when life looks okay on the outside
➜ Emotional reactions that feel bigger than the situation — or that you can’t quite explain
➜ Something from the past that still feels present — in how you react, relate, or feel in your body
➜ Relationship patterns that keep repeating, even when you can see what’s happening
➜ A sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself or the people around you
➜ The feeling that you understand what’s going on — but something still isn’t shifting
How I Work in Counselling
People come to therapy from different places. Some have a lot of insight into what’s happening and still find things won’t shift. Others just know something isn’t working — without being able to name exactly what.
Either way, we start from where you are. Together we figure out what’s going on and what might actually help move things forward — at a pace that feels manageable.
It’s collaborative, grounded, and focused on what makes a real difference in your day-to-day life.
Hi, I’m Jill Koehler
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Approved Clinical Supervisor (RCC-ACS) based in Squamish, offering in-person counselling locally and online therapy across British Columbia.
I’ve been working as a therapist since 2010, supporting people with anxiety, trauma, and the kinds of patterns that don’t always shift through insight alone — often shaped by earlier experiences, family dynamics, or the roles we learned to take on along the way.
I also volunteered with Squamish Search and Rescue, which has given me a firsthand understanding of emergency response work — the pressure, the unpredictability, and the ways it can stay with you long after the call.
My path here had a few twists and turns, and I think that shows up in how I work. I’ve come to appreciate how complex life is — how many different ways there are to live it, and how personal the journey always is. I’m here to offer support, ideas, and guidance as we find a way forward together.
Here when you’re ready
